On the night of the New Year's Eve, Tang Mo invited well-known theatrical troupes and vaudeville troupes in the capital, and applied for a large sum of money to hold a barbecue meeting, so that all soldiers could have the most lively Spring Festival ever.

They didn't have many people, but they had the most people. Early in the morning, Zhu Shangtong and Ma Li, who were in good health, rushed to the Ministry of War with hundreds of people to receive their allowance.

Zhao Tong also took about [-] soldiers to the market to buy meat and vegetables.

The two sides met outside the barracks, and everyone looked at each other happily and smiled.

They buy beef and mutton whole, and make meatballs by themselves, and throw all the bones of beef and mutton into the big pot to make soup. Fish, there are in the stream.

Holding the net and standing by the river, Cao Qipeng pointed into the river and shouted loudly: "Everyone who lives in the river, listen up. Today's New Year's Eve, you will have the opportunity to become a god. Come on, brothers."

ah. .The soldiers next to them all jumped into the river with their net bags, and those below directly used their nets to stop the whole river. It didn't take long for fish to jump in the river, and the soldiers washing vegetables above laughed.

Tang Mo's feet could land on the ground, but he couldn't walk quickly. He came to the riverside like pacing. Looking at the cheerful appearance of the soldiers, he really wanted to have a camera to record his mood at this time. ,

Qing Bin followed him, looking at his legs from time to time, really worried that he would not be able to bear it.

Li Yiguang was watching the soldiers cutting the meat, when he saw him smiling, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty."

"how?"

"The soldiers are happy."

In the past, there were extra meals during the Chinese New Year, but it was not as lively as this. There were also operas to listen to, not only that, but also more generous allowances than in previous years, and the soldiers were overjoyed.

Tang Mo took it for granted, "It's not a big deal that you can't go back to some families after working hard for the court for a whole year."

The people at the Ministry of War saw that the soldiers were more united and loyal now, so they distributed the things very readily.

If the soldiers are all depressed, who will have feelings for the court.

If you want someone to give up your life for you, you should treat him as a relative in normal times.

No emotion, just a glance is extravagant, not to mention loyalty.

When the soldiers saw Tang Mo, they happily raised their hands to say hello. They got to know this Lord Hou very well during the past few months.

During the training, he is very strict and does not pretend to be sympathetic. He is usually very easy to talk to. If the soldiers have any problems, they just need to respond to him, and they can solve them immediately.

He also made it mandatory for the lieutenant general to take into account the feelings of the soldiers and be respected by everyone.

Outside, as long as the soldiers of the Northern Wing Battalion heard that their Lord Hou was promoted by the emperor's favor, they would be so angry that they would drag him into the dark and beat him up.

Where their Marquis's strength is, is it necessary to rely on some kind of emperor's favor?

Of course, you can't let Lord Hou know, or they will all be punished.

Zhao Tonglai took care of the theater troupe, all the theater troupe and songs were open during the day, and the most important point was that ordinary people could watch them as long as they didn't enter the camp.

There are two reasons for not doing it at night. The first is that the sight line is not good, and the second is that there are male and female actors, and the soldiers are full-blooded men.

In the afternoon, the theater troupe came over after lunch, and they all had to leave the camp around five o'clock.

Zhu Shangtong had someone clear out the location a long time ago. It was on the grass next to the tent. The place is spacious, and the soldiers on duty today can see it from the watchtower at the height of the camp.

Tang Mo looked at Zhu Shangtong, and said, "Tonight's patrols have asked them to change shifts every half an hour. It's rare for New Year's Eve, so don't get too tired."

During the day, everyone is there, and there are several high-rise observation decks in the camp. Standing on a high place, you can see every part of the camp at a glance.

Half an hour is only one hour, and each person stands for an hour at night, so everyone has time to sleep.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, I have already ordered you to go down, Lord Hou, when are you going to leave?"

"Why do you want to go? I'll stay here until the troupe leaves."

"Then... what should His Majesty do?"

But Zhu Shangtong heard that His Majesty often looks for Lord Hou, and His Majesty will definitely leave the palace today on New Year's Eve.

At the beginning, everyone felt that His Majesty was just new to him. Who would have thought that His Majesty would treat him better as time passed.

Everyone was secretly guessing whether His Majesty was really moved.

Tang Mo said with a smile: "New Year's Eve vigil, I just go back after dinner."

He left his soldiers and went home to supper, his own contempt for himself, and he could never do it.

"You can go home." Zhu Shangtong's home is not far from Beijing North Street.

Zhu Shangtong said with a smile: "Master Hou, you don't even have it, and I don't have to go back so fast. I have told my family that I will come back after the lights are turned on."

He has a few days off after tomorrow, so he can rest at home.

When Tang Mo came to the cooking place, he asked them to keep clean, the cloth bags for cattle and sheep and some ropes should be burned if they could be burned, and they were never allowed to be thrown into the stream to float away.

He had issued strict instructions a long time ago, and the chefs all knew that what could be burnt would generally not be left behind, and no rubbish should be left in the water, so as not to pollute the water quality.

After lunch, just as everyone was full, the theater troupe rushed over.

The stage was set up early, the musicians began to set up their instruments, and the actors quickly dressed and put on makeup. Some soldiers sat down early with small stools, and it was also a pleasure to watch the actors put on their makeup.

The two battalions were merged, and there were thousands of people. In order to let everyone see, they invited five theater troupes to set up a huge stage.

After watching for a long time, everyone sat on the stool, or sat directly on the grass, densely packed with people.For those who don’t like to watch, you can go to eat barbecue or something like that, sit around a small table with a few brothers, drink a little wine, and listen to a little song outside the camp, not to mention how comfortable it is.

There are not only singing and dancing, but also jokes. The so-called jokes are the same as sketches and the like, which amuse the audience. Of course, operas are indispensable, which can be described as very rich and colorful.

The people from the Ministry of War also wanted to come and take a look, but Tang Mo directly rejected them. There were already a lot of them, and they had no place to sit, which was an eyesore.

It was also the first time for these theater troupes to perform in the military camp. They thought they had no money, but Tang Mo asked someone to settle the money early in the morning, and they were very surprised.

They had heard about the reputation of Marquis Huguo for a long time, but they didn't expect that being so reasonable would greatly change their opinion of him.

The performances were all festive operas, songs and dances, thunderous applause came out from time to time, and many people also watched from a distance.

Tang Mo talked and laughed with the soldiers, and he even made dumplings himself.

Everyone didn't know that Master Hou could make dumplings, knead noodles, and make noodles, his jaw dropped in shock.

After today, they understand that their Lord Hou can not only fight, but also cook, which is perfect.

After Tang Mo made such a fuss, he returned to the Marquis of Huguo's mansion when he was lighting the lamps. When Qing Zhuo helped him up the steps, he saw four children squatting by the door, and they rushed up when they saw him.

"Your Highness, don't do it." Qing Ju was so frightened that he hurriedly stood in front of Tang Mo, and said, "Be careful, the injury is not healed, the injury is not healed."

"We know." Xiao Fan and the others looked at him contemptuously, pulled Tang Mo's sleeves, and dragged him into the mansion.

"Brother, go in quickly."

"Father and we have been waiting for a long time."

"Yes, go home and eat."

"Okay, okay." Tang Mo took their hands and walked towards the threshold, with a cheerful smile on his face.

When the kitchen saw Lord Hou come back, it immediately started cooking and prepared to serve hot meals.

Today Xiao Zhengting was dressed in a black robe, wearing a golden crown on his head. He was handsome and dignified sitting in the hall discussing matters with Wang Huaiyue. When he saw him come back, the coldness in his eyes disappeared.

"Master Hou came back really fast." Wang Huaiyue thought that he would be late at least, and he also thought that he couldn't stay for dinner.

Xiao Zhengting said coldly: "Go back."

"What?" Wang Huaiyue was very surprised, and pointed to herself: "Your Majesty, don't you leave a simple meal for the minister who has worked so hard for you for a year?"

"Our family eats, and you are an eyesore here."

"Your Majesty, your words are aimed at the ministers. Daoist Jiang is not counted as your family."

"He wants to pray for me tonight, will you?"

"I...I..." Wang Huaiyue was angry and looked at Tang Mo aggrievedly: "Brother Ah Mo, I am also a loner, how cool and cool my home is."

He is not convinced, he will stay for dinner.

Tang Mo was a little amused, and said, "Let's have dinner together, it's lively."

Wang Huaiyue immediately looked at Xiao Zhengting proudly: "Your Majesty see, the head of the family is staying for dinner, so you have nothing to say."

In the end, Wang Huaiyue stayed behind, looking at the table full of delicacies happily.

Xiao Zhengji wore new clothes today, very energetic, and sat next to Xiao Zhengting, opposite Tang Mo, very naturally.

Wang Huaiyue made a bow: "Your Highness."

Xiao Zhengji handed him a piece of candy, and said with a smile, "Ah Yue can eat it too."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Wang Huaiyue put the candy in her mouth, her eyes lit up: "Nut core."?

I didn't expect that nuts can also be used as snacks, which is really amazing.

Xiao framed: "Brother Tang invented it."

Jiang Ziliang sat next to Wang Huaiyue, smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Wang, you actually come here for a meal without accompanying the beauty."

Wang Huaiyue counterattacked with a smile on her face: "Brother Jiang eats three meals a day, and I eat such a meal, so I am justified."

The hot food was served soon, Xiao Zhengting looked at Xiao Zhengji: "My brother is the leader."

Xiao Zhengji blinked in doubt, not understanding what he meant.

Steward Shi explained from the side: "Your Highness, you are the eldest brother of His Majesty, and you are the most senior here. The most senior will hold the first chopsticks first, and the rest can eat."

When Xiao Zhengji heard it, he thought it was very interesting. With a smile on his face, he put a chicken leg in Xiao Zhengting's bowl, and a meatball in Tang Mo's bowl, and said loudly, "Let's serve."

The children ate happily, directing the maid to bring their favorite dishes, and the garden was full of laughter.

It was getting late at night, Xiao Zhengji and the children went to bed early, Wang Huaiyue also returned home, Jiang Ziliang went to bed after praying for blessings.

In the quiet garden, Tang Mo and Xiao Zhengting walked quietly, admiring the clear moonlight.

boom. . .In the street outside, dazzling fireworks rose into the sky, gorgeous, bright and full of blessings.

Holding Tang Mo's hand, Xiao Zhengting stared at the person in front of him, his eyes were as gentle as water: "Mo, Happy New Year."

Kissing his lips, Tang Mo smiled and said, "Zhengting, Happy New Year."

boom.Bang, bang, countless fireworks rushed to the sky, blooming beautiful patterns, illuminating all places in Kyoto, and the applause of the people on the streets could be faintly heard.

A new year is bound to be a new beginning.
